Scientific paper

Using RHESSI data and its unprecedented spectral and spatial coverage, we have done a statistical survey of the spectral and spatial characteristics of flares displaying two footpoints in hard X-rays (HXR). We have manually selected 53 of RHESSI's best observed flares, where both HXR footpoints could be imaged above 50 keV. Numerous correlations could thus be investigated, providing additional constraints to coronal particle acceleration models. Assuming both footpoints are fed by the same electron injections, we will in particular address the question as to whether differences in HXR footpoint spectral indices and flux ratios can be attributed to a difference in column density between the acceleration site and both chromospheric footpoints.
